Thanks!! It now works much better, at least for me :).
Now \(*a and α produce (at least visually) the same, which has been desirable.
P9p and plan9 works the same now.

(Still, however, 'alpha' is different from \(*a (or α), since it is
typeset in the current font rather than the italics, as would be
appropriate. But the same happens in plan9, too. Probably (?) it has
some historic context; nonetheless unfortunate.)

Perhaps one more thing. Using regular installation of p9p and the p9p
rio, I don't get e.g. α visible either in 9term or sam, although I see
it in acme. This is probably a font problem, which could be (??)
surmounted by using a different default font when rio gets started. Is
it so? Which one? (as I get it it must be an X11 font...).

Thanks !!
Ruda
